Karaoke produces an experience that is both collective and intimate, where impassioned voices are shared in enclosed spaces. On the evening of September 7, 2018, U Leave Me Breathless leaves the doors ajar, embedding karaoke within the public infrastructure at Place Sun-Yat-Sen in Montreal’s Chinatown.

U Leave Me Breathless (2018) is a site-specific digital installation introducing a downloaded 3D character inspired by the Vocaloid™ Hatsune Miku. Passersby enter a private box to sing their hearts out. Voices echoing in the square are accompanied by karaoke videos projected to the public,crafted by Grace An using found footage.
